Hikaru comes from behind to win, but Kiao's sensei sees Hikaru's skills for himself and realizes Akira will be disappointed when he faces him since he's not that good, but they don't know it's really Sai who is a master. Hikaru is dead set on playing in the tournament himself without Sai's help, but once he overheard how Akira was being bullied chasing after his dream to play "Hikaru", he realizes and decides Sai should play him. I'm glad he came to that decision. I really wanna see their matchup. Akira deserves it.
